A summary of steps to build and package CARTA

(Assuming installation of all packages and libraries described on https://github.com/CARTAvis/carta is already done)

1. Export your Qt path e.g. export PATH=/Qt5.3.2/5.3/gcc_64/bin:$PATH

2. Download the latest CARTA source code git clone https://github.com/CARTAvis/carta.git CARTAvis

3. Build the html part cd CARTAvis/carta/html5/common/skel && generate.py build && cd ../../../../../

4. Prepare a build directory e.g. mkdir build && cd build

5. Run the Qt qmake e.g. qmake NOSERVER=1 CARTA_BUILD_TYPE=dev ../CARTAvis/carta -r

6. Build the code e.g. make -j 4

7. Download the appropriate packaging script from here e.g svn export https://github.com/CARTAvis/deploytask/trunk/final_centos7_packaging_steps.sh

8. Modify paths in the script for your system and run the script chmod 755 final_centos7_packaging_steps.sh && ./final_centos7_packaging_steps.sh

Miscellaneous files

These scripts automatically download two archives as follow:

1. measures_data containing the ephemerides and geodetic files: http://www.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/~ajm/carta/measures_data.tar.gz

2. images containing a few sample images: http://www.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/~ajm/carta/images.tar.gz

They also download and use updated versions of the Mac Carta.app and Linux carta-distro templates that have been extracted from the original NRAO casa-pkg template. The Carta.app and carta-distro are on this repository.

The casarc, carta.sh, and setupcartavis.sh files are slightly different between Mac and Linux, and the latest versions have been put inside the appropriate templates for now.

To Do:

1. Unify the casarc, carta.sh, and setupcartavis.sh so that only one version is needed between Mac and Linux.
2. Make setupcartavis.sh obsolete.
3. Unify the CentOS7 and CentOS6 scripts into a single Linux script.

Note:

After the 28th April 2017, the carta develop branch changed the name of the main executable. Old executable name: desktop. New executable name: CARTA. We need to update the current casa-pkg template for this new change but the separate Carta.app and carta-distro templates on this repository already contain these changes. If you really want to use the casa-pkg template, you can make the changes manually with a symbolic link (Here assuming casa-pkg is downloaded to /tmp/).

For Mac:

cd /tmp/casa-pkg/packaging/template/osx/Carta.app/Contents/MacOS
ln -s @@WS@@/Contents/MacOS/CARTA CARTA
rm desktop

For Linux:

cd /tmp/casa-pkg/packaging/template/linux/carta-distro/bin
ln -s @@WS@@/CARTA CARTA
rm desktop

Also, make sure the carta.sh you are using has updated the line appname=desktop to appname=CARTA

Any branches before 28th April 2017 still use the old desktop name.
